1 Answer

A. Allow your little one to try and put food in their mouth, then practice chewing and swallowing. Be sure that baby's mouth is clear of food before offering anything from the spoon. If your baby gets frustrated, allow them to finish the meal and eat how they normally would (such as with spoon feeding).Give your baby lots of opportunities to practice. ... Begin with encouraging hand feeding. ... Also, introduce and encourage baby to use utensils. ... Stay close to your baby during meals. ... Be prepared and expect a big mess. ... Eat together as a family. ... Be patient.Once they start to put it to their mouth, put your hand on top of theirs and dip it together in the food, put just enough on the spoon so it is just a taste. Do this a few times throughout the meal until they start to get the hang of it themselves.
